There is a robust association between negative parenting and child antisocial
behavior problems. However, the etiology of this association remains unclear.
Extant literature has reported strikingly different conclusions across studies,
with some highlighting genetic mediation and others highlighting environmental
mediation. One possible reason for these discrepancies across studies may be the
failure to differentiate between aggressive and non-aggressive (rule-breaking)
dimensions of childhood antisocial behavior, given their notably different
etiologies and developmental trajectories (Burt 2012). The current study sought
to examine the phenotypic and etiologic associations of maternal negativity with
aggressive and rule-breaking antisocial behavior, respectively. Participants
included 824 mothers and their twin children between the ages of 6 and 10. Our
results highlighted clear etiologic distinctions in the associations of
aggression and rule-breaking with maternal negativity. Aggression was associated
with maternal negativity via both genetic and environmental factors, whereas the
association between non-aggressive rule-breaking and maternal negativity was
entirely environmental in origin. These findings provide additional support for
the presence of meaningful distinctions between aggressive and non-aggressive
forms of antisocial behavior, and highlight the complex relationship between
parenting and child outcome.
